Former Cardiff City man Danny Gabbidon could be in line for a sensational return with the Bluebirds. The centre-half is currently training with the club at their Vale Resort base – boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer confirming this on Wednesday evening.

Midfielder Jack Cork looks set to become the latest player to join the exodus from Southampton. The Saints have seen eight players leave the club already this summer, with fees raised totalling close to £100m.

And now Cork, who has been on Swansea City's radar, is set for a move to Crystal Palace after the two clubs agreed a £3m fee.

While Gabbidon trains with Cardiff, the Bluebirds have been trawling Europe in the search for a new centre-half. Chairman Mehmet Dalman and manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer have been as far afield as Denmark and Monaco in the search for players though no new arrival is expected before Saturday's game with Huddersfield.
